College credit card marketing agreements

We collect information annually from credit card issuers who have marketing agreements with universities, colleges, or affiliated organizations such as alumni associations, sororities, fraternities, and foundations. We publish annual reports to Congress, and we maintain publicly accessible files of the agreements.

Survey data of credit card plan terms

We semiannually survey the terms of credit card plans offered by financial institutions and publish reports of the findings. The largest credit card issuers in the country are required to participate in the survey, and we select other financial institutions to participate as well.
